Cruise on down to Ocean City Maryland for the 32nd Annual Cruisin Ocean City, May 18-19-20-21, 2023. This event will feature over 3,000 hot rods, customs, classics and trucks. While the main events will take place at the beautiful beachside Inlet Parking lot, which is located along the historic OC boardwalk, and at the Ocean City Convention Center, there will be various car shows citywide. There will also be entertainment, boardwalk parades, special guests, featured cars, live music, celebrities and more.

Back by popular demand, The Doo Wop Project will take the stage on Thursday May 18th. In their epic show The Doo Wop Project takes audiences on a journey from foundational tunes of groups like the Crests, Belmonts and Flamingos through their influences on the sounds of Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, and The Four Seasons all the way to DooWopified versions of modern musicians like Michael Jackson, Jason Mraz and Maroon 5. Featuring stars of Broadway’s smash hits Jersey Boys and Motown: The Musical, the Doo Wop Project brings unparalleled authenticity of sound and vocal excellence to recreate—and in some cases entirely reimagine—some of the greatest music in American pop and rock history!
